I went upstairs yesterday morning while the girls were getting ready for school. I heard Shelby chanting, "Make way for Quentin's Queen. Make way for Quentin's Queen." Now if you have been following this blog for any length of time, you have heard about Quentin. S and Q were in kindergarten and 1st grade together. They did not get in the same 2nd or 3rd grade classes, but still see each other at lunch and the playground. And this year I think their 2 classes do some things together. Q is her favorite friend. Q had earned a prize for good behavior. He picked for his prize the chance to eat lunch with someone of his choosing. Q is very shy so I was very surprised when she said that he chose, you guessed it - Shelby! Q is getting brave! She kept looking at herself in my full length mirror. When I said something she squealed her delight just thinking about her lunch date. Since they have to eat at tables assigned by classroom, I assumed she would eat with him at his table. Boy was I wrong! After school she told me they ate by themselves in his classroom. She sat in the desk across from his. She said she was in there before him. His teacher was in the room but left for awhile. They waited until they were sure she was gone. Then they looked at each other and started laughing. That is about all I got out of her. The highlight of her year so far, for sure!
Here are a few pictures of the two of them from over the years.

Quentin and his family recently sold their house. Shelby was not happy because he will most likely go to another school once they settle on a new house. For now they are living with his grandparents so he still goes to Oakdale. Quentin and his brother come with their mom to BSF on Monday nights. So as long as they continue to participate in that, she will get to see him on a weekly basis even after he changes schools. The house they sold was on the street behind the school. After school on the day before they closed with the new owners, his mom took their picture in front of the house. I asked her for a copy of it for this post, but she said she thinks her camera cord is packed away in storage. Oh well, it was fun to dig up some of these oldies. It's amazing how much they change even over just a few years.
